#996 - Jaguar XJR-9 (Plain Color Model: Black)

1/43 DIECAST MODEL

已停产

HPI's hyper-detailed 1/43 scale die-cast model line-up now includes
the legendary XJR-9 painted in solid black. The history of the
XJR-9 stretches back to 1984, when Jaguar supplied engines to
different teams competing in the North American IMSA GTP
championship. This arrangement led to factory support for Group C
endurance racing and participation in the World Sportscar
Championship. In 1986 and 1987 Jaguar entered Le Mans but
unfortunate circumstances kept the team from doing as well as they
wanted. For the 1988 Le Mans 24 hours race, the team put all its
effort behind the XJR-9 chassis and although one of the cars
suffered an accident early on, the #2 car piloted by Johnny
Dumfries, Andy Wallace, and Jan Lammers finished the race in first
place overall. Earlier in the year, in the IMSA GTP series, the
XJR-9 won the 24 Hours of Daytona and earned third place in the
overall championship, while in the World Sportscar Championship the
XJR-9 took 5 victories plus Le Mans, handing the team the
manufacturer's title win. The Le Mans victory was the first for
Jaguar since 1957, placing the XJR-9 high on the list of
most-desired race cars of all time. HPI precision die-cast metal
models are 1/43 scale, a convenient size for any desk or display
case. Incredible attention has been paid to make the shape of cars
as true to scale as possible. Fine exterior details like radiators,
disc brakes, brake calipers, mirrors, wings, exhaust, headlight
buckets, mirrors, tow hooks and radio antennae combine to make the
models extremely realistic. Each car has a fully painted and
detailed interior, steering wheel, and dashboard. These models come
mounted to a display platform that includes a clear plastic
protective case and the car can be easily removed from the platform
for individual display. Remember: all of these fantastic
recreations are made in limited quantities, once gone they will
never be available again.Collect all of the HPI
